Nick Hakim

I honestly do not know where to begin because the sound projected by Nick Hakim is vintage yet pristine in many ways.

The alternative/indie artist originally from DC is an east coast native that creates soulful music on an entirely other wave. In his bio on Apple Music he is characterized as a “purposefully raw and redefined balladeer with an old soul”.

2014 was the year Nick Hakim released a few EPs. The first ballad for me to ever hear was off his EP “Where Will You Go”:

Once I heard this track I was purely hooked. I followed up with the instrumental “Papas Fritas” and immediately knew he was something special. The simplicity of his productions beautifully capture a meaningful resonance.

Over the years he developed a fan base that he entirely deserves. With his new album out, Nick Hakim will begin to tour and capture many more listeners by their ears.
